As gorgeous to look at as it is fascinating to read, Indie Games complements its insightful commentary and fun anecdotes with hundreds of screenshots, pieces of concept artwork, draft sketches, and behind the scenes photos. Overall the book is presented beautifully to showcase every image in exquisite detail. The way images are laid out and formatted within the text is very well done. The spreads and chapter pages are especially stunning. -- Matt Litten @ vgblogger.com
